Toyota and Stanford University unveiled a two-car autonomous drift

After seven years of research, TOYOTA Research Institute and engineering researchers at Stanford University announced a world first achievement in driving research: the autonomous drift of two cars working together in full coordination on a surface that simulates

The new technology that makes cars easier to steal or crash by criminals

The automotive industry is talking about the "Internet of Vehicles" (IoV), a network that can help vehicles detect roadblocks, traffic jams and pedestrians. She can help with the location of the vehicle on the road

Why did the autonomous cars fail?

Autonomous taxis have indeed reached the roads in some cities, but they are still far from replacing taxi drivers, or capturing a significant share of the public transportation market. On private autonomous vehicles - those that are owned

Four groups were selected to carry out tests of operating autonomous buses within the framework of the national project for autonomous public transportation

Metropolin, Egged, Dan and Netiv Express (each separately) will cooperate with start-up companies and international transportation companies to operate pilots of autonomous buses, first as part of an experiment and following that a license to operate in areas to be determined

Autonomous decision-making under conditions of uncertainty

This problem in artificial intelligence is also called "belief space planning". Solving this problem, i.e. calculating the set of optimal actions to achieve the goal, requires an estimate of the potential actions under a reward function

The Innovation Authority approved 57 m s for activities in the fields of human-machine interface and control of autonomous vehicles

Dror Bin, CEO of the Innovation Authority: "The Innovation Authority sees great importance in promoting the field of robotics in the State of Israel. Development and strengthening of capabilities in the field of robotics may give the relevant companies a significant competitive advantage in the sale of

Just before the end: did you know? Already in 1957 there was a first advertisement for driverless cars. The idea may have been good, but the technology took another fifty years to reach the point of realization.

Will driverless vehicles be used for crime?
